Sample Paper (Class VIII)

English Max Marks-75

Reading (Section-A)

1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: (8)

The coffee tree is a native of the highlands of southern Ethiopia. And the name coffee

is derived from the highland district of ‘Kaffa’ where it was found from Ethiopia, and taken across the Red sea to Saudi Arabia.

The flavour and quality of coffee depends on many factors such as, soil and climate,

but the greatest deciding factor is the spices of the tree from which the coffee is

obtained. There are some 40 different species but three major types are

commercially cultivated. Arabica is the most important in the world trade.

Coffee trees need sunshine and water, so they grow well in hot countries like South

America, South Africa, India, and far east. Coffee trees are very delicate and picking

the beans is a long process.

There are millions of people who drink coffee in coffee bars or restaurants all over

the world. Coffee bars are a good place to meet people for chat and drinking coffee.

People drink coffee to simply relax and so that they can stay awake. Students drink it

late at night because they want to study. Coffee has a bitter taste and people usually

drink it with sugar or milk.

Some people like to drink their coffee black. In Italy, they drink very strong coffee. It

is called espresso.

iv. _____ are added in coffee to reduce its bitterness.

b. Pick out words from the passage which mean the same as :

a. A person born in a particular country or area

b. An area of land with hills or mountains

2. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: (7)

Human beings are the most paradoxical of all animals- they are both creators and

destroyers. On one hand, they have created the most beautiful paintings and the

most complicated machines; on the other hand, they are destroying this living

planet slowly but steadily. Their greed has brought many animal species to the

verge of extinction and they continue to poison the environment with toxins.

Since the beginning of life on earth, quite a few species have become extinct and

have been replaced by other evolving species. Yet there is no doubt that humans

have speeded up the process of extinction. Some animals are threatened because

too many of them have been killed indiscriminately. Other species are

endangered because their natural habitat is being thoughtlessly destroyed.

Humans should realize that they themselves are a part of the intricate

relationship between all living things and therefore must stop tampering with the

existing ecosystem.

What is needed now are more and larger areas set aside for wildlife reserves,

more centuries and national parks. We need more conservation research to find

out exactly why species and habitats are threatened and exactly how to save them.

a. Complete the sentences on the basis of your reading:

i. Humans have been called both creators and destroyers because

________

because________
